Teenage sex, drugs, gang violence, double suicide - Can this be the classic Shakespearian romance about those world famous icons of young love, Romeo and Juliet? It is.

The lusty language common to all young men throughout the ages is tastefully camouflaged by his exquisite Elizabethan poetry, sending the naughty meanings right over our clueless heads.
